Dear T,

Thank you for answering my last two emails in such a timely manner. That meant alot to me. It made me feel that you really are going to support me through this trip that I am taking for school business.

You know that this is HUGE for me. A step that I never thought I would ever see myself doing. I am doing this because I need to. I need to push myself to try new things. Maybe they are things I could do years ago, but somewhere along the way I lost my confidence. I allowed my anxiety to dictate everything I would and would not do.

I hope that you see this as progress and will be with me every day of this trip. You said that you would. You told me that I could call you if I need to. I want to believe you. I don't have any reason to doubt you. Please don't let me down. Okay?
